The integration with the PYXIS Monitor is a game-changer, ensuring seamless compatibility and enhanced functionality for the Blackmagic PYXIS 6K.
This addition facilitates better monitoring, more accurate framing, and increased efficiency during shoots.

Another significant feature of the update is the inclusion of lens correction metadata for L-Mount lenses.
This enhancement embeds crucial optical data into Blackmagic RAW files, giving editors and colorists precise lens information to streamline the post-production process.
The update also refines the lock switch functionality on the PYXIS 6K, limiting its effects to the built-in touchscreen for more intuitive use.
Furthermore, battery performance has improved, delivering longer runtimes and increasing the camera’s reliability for extended shooting sessions.
Tethering compatibility has expanded to support Apple’s latest devices, including the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro, ensuring smooth data transfer and control.

The Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 also benefits from this update, as its gyro accuracy has significantly improved, providing better stabilization for handheld and dynamic shots.
Furthermore, an issue causing black horizontal lines to appear on SDI and HDMI outputs has been resolved, ensuring a clean and professional image.
To take advantage of these enhancements, users must meet the updated system requirements: macOS users need macOS 14.0 Sonoma or macOS 15.0 Sequoia, while Windows users require Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11 64-bit operating systems.
